Online Coaching 27th April 2020

Category : News

Thank you for taking part in the recent poll issued, we are happy to see so many of you prepared to engage in this coaching session.

We propose to run the first session this coming Monday 27th April at 8pm start. The joining instructions have been emailed to all members.

We would like you all to participate where possible and in order to do so please have your yellow and red cards to flash at the camera when prompted by the coaches. Ideally you would be able to feedback if prompted when posed a question to explain your reasons like we would in meetings.

We aim to run a few more of these after we measure the success of this session. Your participation and feedback will be key for us.

If you have not received the email with details how to join please contact a member of the committee.

Future Association Meetings

Category : News

Hello to All Renfrewshire Referees, we hope you are well and safe at this testing time.

I know we all must miss some our refereeing so in order to have some level of engagement we are proposing to go through the most recent issue of Coaching Videos which was earmarked for Meeting 5 – Challenges.

To do this we need to gauge your interest and we have two dates in mind

– Monday 27th April @ 8pm
– Monday 4th May @ 8pm

The coaching will take place via the web platform Zoom, ideally you would all have access via a laptop, tablet or at worse case a phone. We would share the videos with myself and Barry coaching through the notes, ideally with some involvement from you all.

Please indicate your preference and willingness to join us by completing this poll – https://doodle.com/poll/9wmxyzakmy5d8mw7

Ideally you would have this completed by close of play tomorrow.

We will be back in touch over the weekend with the preferred date and the joining instructions.

Many thanks and take care.

David & Barry
Coaching Coordinators
Renfrewshire Referees

The course, as in previous Regional Training Days will give you the opportunity to receive instruction and coaching from some of our top match officials and assist your development as a referee.
